The fans who have appreciated their contribution to Wigan warriors have not had the chance to thank them for being Warriors, to say goodbye & wish them Good Luck.

Although I have spoke personally to Thornley.

Wigan have moved on an average player, improved the no 9 position with O’Neil and Leeming and Powell is off the salary cap. Hopefully our other young hooker who’s name escapes me who is supposed to be very good now doesn’t see three senior players in front of him and may well start to get games if either of the other two are injured.

There is no room for sentiment in pro sport Josie. Of the three you mention only Cust could come back to haunt us if he regains fitness. I am sure all three are top blokes but the other two won’t.be missed on the field.

As to no opportunity to thank them I think with Powell he had the option to stay but decided to leave after the season had ended. Cust was bound to leave give the quota and Thornley like Cust wasn’t playing and hardly played all season so i am not sure how the club could have organised it for any of them.

I think it was right for Sam to move on however, I am not convinced that our hooking options have improved, I hope Leeming proves me wrong. I would have been far happier had we promoted Forber. The plus side is that it frees up some salary cap.

You cannot have two kids playing 9 for the first team, one of which hasn’t even made his debut.

I’m absolutely fine with the Leeming signing and see it as an upgrade at 9 overall.

The only concern is the 4 year deal and it potentially blocking the pathway for Forber. That’s the only bit I don’t truly understand.

Solid player better than many on here will ever admit to but no world beater either.

Good luck to the lad I suspect if he fancies coaching he may well be back at some point
